Our person-centred, Christian ethos takes people's spirituality seriously and respects the views of those with other faiths or no faith.
Our Vision
Our vision is to improve mental health in the BANES area and beyond through affordable, professional, and authentic counselling. We aim to create confidential, safe spaces for the exploration of feelings through much-needed support groups that target areas of mental health.
